Wilo-Flumen OPTI-RZP 50 … 80
Operationally reliable transport of sewage in the wastewater treatment plant with a large volume flow and low delivery head.
-
Description
The highly efficient Wilo-Flumen OPTI-RZP series ensures reliable and non-clog continuous operation when pumping sewage from the nitrification basin back into the denitrification basin. Wilo recirculation pumps are ideally suited for speed-controlled operation with a frequency converter to support energy-efficient and load-sensitive control of wastewater treatment plants.
-
Advantages
- Reliable continuous operation due to low clogging propellers and flow housing that is pump in non-clog design.
- High operational reliability by using stainless steel investment-cast propellers
- Reduction of energy costs thanks to high pump efficiency
- Customer-specific configuration taking into account the different pipe diameters and volume flows
- Simple adaptation to the system parameters through operation with a frequency converter
- Easy installation and removal, even when the basins are filled due to lowering devices and screwless coupling
- Simple replacement due to adaptation to existing installations

Construction
Hydraulics
Propeller made of solid material with clogging-free propeller geometry. Pump in non-clog design flow housing with guide claw and two flange claws. The guide claw ensures smooth function when lifting and lowering the recirculation pump. The flange claws can be readjusted, ensure optimum centring on the discharge pipe and stabilise the recirculation pump at high operating pressure.
Alternative version with flange connection for direct screwing to the discharge pipe.
Gear
Single-stage planetary gear with exchangeable transmission. Gear bearings have been dimensioned large to absorb resulting stirring forces and not transfer these to the motor bearing.
Motor
Surface-cooled submersible motor in three-phase current design with permanently lubricated und large-size rolling bearings. The motor winding is equipped with temperature monitoring. The motor heat is given off directly to the surrounding fluid via the motor housing. The connection cable is designed for heavy mechanical loads, sealed water pressure-tight against the fluid and is sealed longitudinally watertight. The connection cable has bare cable ends and is 10 m (33 ft) long as standard.
Seal
The system is sealed by a 3-chamber system:
- Pre-chamberThe high-volume pre-chamber has been filled with gear oil to absorb any leakage at the seal on the fluid side. A mechanical seal is used as the seal on the fluid side. A rotary shaft seal seals towards the gear chamber.
- Gear chamberThe gear chamber has been filled with gear oil to guarantee continuous lubrication of the planetary gear and the gear bearings. A mechanical seal seals towards the sealing chamber.
- Sealing chamberThe high-volume sealing chamber is filled with white oil and absorbs any leakage from the gear chamber. A rotary shaft seal seals towards the motor.
Option
- Thermal motor monitoring as temperature controller and temperature limiter
- Thermal motor monitoring with PTC sensor
- Fluid temperatures up to 60 °C (140 °F), depending on the motor type and motor capacity
- Sealing chamber monitoring
- Ex-rated in accordance with ATEX, FM and IEC-Ex
- Ceram coating for housing parts made of grey cast iron
Accessories
